As an aside, there is a very cool interview on the last chiclets with Gary Roberts. Talks about his business. He works for Kraken during the season (Ron Francis buddy), so doesn't connect with players during the year.
Talks about time in Calgary. Depression and drinking after injuring himself and calling it quits. Went to a flames game and had to leave it was so hard on him.
Training with Brad Mcrimmon taught him some stuff.
Another interesting part was that he trains Chris Tanev. Said he hasn't seen anyone work as hard as that guy. Not about bulk, but about longevity and injury recovery.
Worth a listen. Funny having Colby Armstrong as part of interview and what kid he is around Roberts when they were on the pens together.
